I suggest Python from
http://python.org
It has an English-like syntax so is closer to COBOL than a C-based
language with a lot of punctuation symbols. Your low vision will
probably help you manage the required indentation, also similar to
COBOL, which can be one of the most challenging aspects for blind
beginners of the language.

I would like to get back into computer programming . I have 2
certificates in COBOL from over 20 years ago. I realize that the
languages have changed but much of the structure and logic remains them
same.
I heard that BASIC is a good place to start but possibly that translates
into VISUAL BASIC or some other language.
I am legally blind and still can take advantage of a Closed Circuit TV
and strong magnifiers. But I need RFB&D or Bookshare or some other
recorded instructions.
Please RSVP if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Thank you,
